Parachutes are great when you're at altitude. If things fail near the ground (which they usually do, as it's when the aircraft is under the most stress), then you'll just end up with a brick with a silk streamer behind it.
I would stress too much about this. Anything that has even a remote chance of interfering with the US military's use of GPS is never going to be deployed. Period.
It can't encumber anything that presently exists.
In concept, that's not true. If they implemented audio or video fingerprinting at the hardware level, they could make existing (unencumbered!) media unplayable.
How is the waste dealt with in an aircraft carrier.
The waste processing method is less relevant than the fact that the material is constantly surrounded by over 5,000 military personnel and armament capable of destroying a nation.
I wonder how complex your algorithms would have to be to determine if the sounds produced are of gunshots or female moans.
They should give the Turing award to anyone that can produce an algorithm that can tell the difference between porn and women's tennis.
My thoughts exactly. How many times have you had to fiddle with the contacts of a battery compartment to get something working? This is going to be prone to the same sort of issues, only instead of the failure mode being simply loss of contact, you can end up with cases where the wrong terminal connects, causing a short -- and potentially a fire.
Quoted search phrases work perfectly on Google. Can you give a counterexample?
I've got two eyes, but one is sufficiently weak that my brain never learned stereoscopic vision. 3D movies for me amount to having to wear uncomfortable dorky glasses.
Oh, and also watching an image that is half as bright as a normal movie. Was that normal, or the result of my seeing the movie in a lousy theater? Is this just an acknowledged drawback to the technology, or are they supposed to be projecting at double the brightness to compensate?
It's not as if we wouldn't have known anyway: his first reaction is to apologize profusely.

-34C is the same mark... Without significant special gear, and complete body coverage of every sqin of skin, you simply can't safely go outside in these temperatures.
Pfft. You need a touque, scarf and snowpants. Then it's time to go play.
I'd put the -10C into the biting cold category, and -20 is simply too cold to go outside.
Ha! My childhood would like a word with you. -20 was when I'd RUN outside, because it had been -40 for the last week. -10 meant spring was on its way.

My monitor is dying now, and that HP was on my short list. Do you do any gaming with it? I'm a bit worried about lag.
If Smith -> Smiths, then why do you assume Jones -> Jones instead of Jones -> Joneses? That's what I meant about "official pluralizing rules". There aren't any, so your assumption is invalid.
I'll remember that the next time I invite all the Smith over to dinner.
